I have made cauliflower alfredo sauce before, but we have a sous vide, so why not try this recipe? Guess what. It's AMAZING! Sous vide is a culinary marvel. I was a bit worried because I changed most of the ingredients to make it vegan and I thought it might lose its creaminess. I was stupid to have doubted myself. What I changed:
I used 2.5 cups of cauliflower florets instead of 2.
I used a new vegan butter instead of my usual dairy/plant based blend. I think I'll update my favorite brands page after this.
I used 1 cup of veggie stock instead of 1/2 cup of chicken stock.
And I used almond milk instead of whole cow's milk.
I made the sauce yesterday, because I didn't want to be tempted to order in. Trying to get this year started off right, after all. The flavor held up well and paired great with sweet potato noodles, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, and mushrooms.
Changes I made: replaced dairy products with vegan options.
